be excellent for us if you find you can manage it. Please come & Stay in
the house:

87

Ayrton, Elisabeth ALS to G. Anne (Hoskyns)
LewisToppesfield, Essex; Dear Mrs. Lewis. We were so very sorry to
hear this morning about your husband. I don't think there is anyone left of his
stature.

87

Ayrton, Elisabeth ALS to G. Anne (Hoskyns)
LewisToppesfield, Essex; Dear Mrs. Lewis. This is just to say that
of course an invitation holds good for any time when you can get away &
would care to do so.

Ayrton, Elisabeth ALS to G. Anne (Hoskyns)
LewisToppesfield, Essex; Dear Mrs. Lewis. We do both hope you are
better. Look after yourself: this year's influenza is not at all nice.

87

Ayrton, Elisabeth TLS to G. Anne (Hoskyns)
LewisToppesfield, Essex; Dear Mrs. Lewis, I am replying to your
letter to Michael, as he is working on a rush job at present. We both
sympathise very much with what you say.

87

Ayrton, Elisabeth ALS to G. Anne (Hoskyns)
LewisToppesfield, Essex; Dear Mrs. Lewis. I'm sorry to have been so
long in answering your letter we have been away and Michael is now in Edinburgh
making lithographs.

87

Ayrton, Elisabeth ALS to G. Anne (Hoskyns)
LewisToppesfield, Essex; Dear Mrs. Lewis. Michael & I are both
delighted to hear that you have sold all the drawings. He asks me to say that
they are in London

87

Ayrton, Michael ALS to Wyndham LewisToppesfield, Essex; Dear Wyndham Lewis. My contact in Paris
sends the enclosed catalogue and I send on his letter with it.

87

Ayrton, Michael ALS to Wyndham LewisToppesfield, Essex; Michael Ayrton requests the honour of your
company at a private view, on March 6, 1947 of his recent paintings

87

Ayrton, Michael ALS to Wyndham LewisToppesfield, Essex; Dear Wyndham Lewis. I am tremendously
pleased with the catalogue forward, indeed I am very proud that you should have
felt inclined to write

87

Ayrton, Michael ALS to Wyndham LewisLondon; Dear Wyndham Lewis. Two years ago you wrote the
introduction to the catalogue of my last exhibition at the Redfern Gallery

Ayrton, Michael ALS to Wyndham LewisToppesfield, Essex; Dear Wyndham Lewis. My editor is delighted
with the 'Rebellion Patient' and wishes to publish it. He has asked the
publishers

87

Ayrton, Michael ALS to Wyndham LewisToppesfield, Essex; Dear Wyndham Lewis. When we spoke on the
telephone a few weeks ago, you mentioned that the visual arts no longer
concered you,

87

Ayrton, Michael ALS to Wyndham LewisToppesfield, Essex; Dear Wyndham Lewis. I am so sorry not to
have acknowledged your telegram before this but I have been in a welter of
work

87

Ayrton, Michael AL[postcard]S to Wyndham
LewisToppesfield, Essex; Dear Wyndham Lewis. Thank you so much for
your letter. Actually if it makes no difference to you Thursday the 26 would
suit us better.

87

Ayrton, Michael AL[postcard]S to Wyndham
LewisToppesfield, Essex; Dear Wyndham Lewis. Thank you so much for
your letter. I look forward keenly to your article. I think we may agree that
Lady Herbert has overdone it

87

Ayrton, Michael ALS to Wyndham LewisToppesfield, Essex; Dear Wyndham Lewis. Just a line to say
that we await your article with the greatest interest and that the editor of
the publication in question

87

Ayrton, Michael ALS to Wyndham LewisToppesfield, Essex; Dear Wyndham Lewis. Thank you for your
letter. I look forward very much to receiving your short story and I will see
to it that the fee is paid at once.

87

Ayrton, Michael ALS to Wyndham LewisToppesfield, Essex; Dear Wyndham Lewis. Thank you very much
for the M.S. received this morning. I have read it with great enthusiasm and
passed it on

87

Ayrton, Michael ALS to Wyndham LewisToppesfield, Essex; Dear Wyndham Lewis. I have now heard from
the editor of 'Book of the Year' that he is enthusiastic about your story -

87

Ayrton, Michael ALS to Wyndham LewisToppesfield, Essex; Dear Wyndham Lewis. I think the Rebellious
Patient is absolutely superb. It has the especial quality of describing to the
reader a course of action

87

Ayrton, Michael ALS to Wyndham LewisToppesfield, Essex; Dear Wyndham Lewis. My wife and I will be
in London nex Wednesday, July 15 and we wonder if we may accept your invitation
to come and see you

87

Ayrton, Michael ALS to Wyndham LewisToppesfield, Essex; Dear Wyndham Lewis. Thank you so much for
your letter. We were both very disappointed not to be able to welcome you here

87

Ayrton, Michael ALS to Wyndham LewisToppesfield, Essex; Dear Wyndham Lewis. After prolonged and
increasingly furious correspondence and a number of abusive telephone calls I
have at last obtained satisfaction

87

Ayrton, Michael ALS to Wyndham LewisToppesfield, Essex; Dear Wyndham Lewis. I had intended
visiting you last week but I have had a very heavy cold for ten days, which I
cannot seem to throw

87

Ayrton, Michael ALS to Wyndham LewisToppesfield, Essex; Dear Wyndham. Thank you so much for the
proofs of 'The Apes of God' jacket. I am sorry about the B.B.C. talks proposal.
I have heard nothing more

87

Ayrton, Michael ALS to Wyndham LewisToppesfield, Essex; Dear Wyndham Lewis. I received your
message and have since tried tree times to telephone to you but I presume you
must be away [With draft reply from Lewis on it.]

87

Ayrton, Michael ALS to Wyndham LewisToppesfield, Essex; Dear Wyndham Lewis. I have read
'Self-Condemned' with the greatest excitement and second time with the greatest
care and I find it

87

Ayrton, Michael ALS to Wyndham LewisToppesfield, Essex; Dear Wyndham Lewis. I have completed the
jacket for Self Condemned after four attempts and five days work and I think I
have done a reasonable job.

87

Ayrton, Michael ALS to Wyndham LewisToppesfield, Essex; Dear Wyndham Lewis. I have seen Mr.
hanison of A.R.C.O. about the jacket for Apes of God but I am afraid the
interview was not a success.

87

Ayrton, Michael ALS to Wyndham LewisToppesfield, Essex; Dear Wyndham Lewis. Herewith the Walton
photo. I have written to Minton for a Thames painting. I also enclose the
article about M. Mathieu

87

Ayrton, Michael ALS to Wyndham LewisToppesfield, Essex; Dear Wyndham Lewis. I shall have completed
a jacket for The Apes of God this weekend and should like to bring it to you
next week

87

Ayrton, Michael ALS to Wyndham LewisToppesfield, Essex; Dear Wyndham Lewis. Thank you for the
cheque. Our friend in Fitzroy Street is certainly a curious figure. Let us hope
the jacket turns out

87

Ayrton, Michael ALS to Wyndham LewisToppesfield, Essex; Dear Wyndham Lewis. I have received the
new book and read it at once. I hail it with a fierce shout for what you have
said needed saying badly

87

Ayrton, Michael ALS to Wyndham LewisToppesfield, Essex; Dear Wyndham Lewis. Thank you for your
letter with the type sample and the Methuen letter enclosed. I have had no word
from Methuen

87

Ayrton, Michael ALS to Wyndham LewisToppesfield, Essex; My Dear Wyndham. I enclose the ICA
pamphlet with their little reply to you. Not very strong I think. May I visit
you at 4 pm instead of 5 pm on the 15.

87

Ayrton, Michael ALS to Wyndham LewisToppesfield, Essex; Dear Wyndham. I saw White of Methuen on
Thursday and all is satisfactorily arranged apropos the drawings for Monstre
Gai and Malign Fiesta.

87

Ayrton, Michael ALS to Wyndham LewisToppesfield, Essex; Dear Wyndham Lewis. I have been intending
to get in touch with you for some weeks but paradoxically I have been so
involved with you

87

Ayrton, Michael ALS to Wyndham LewisToppesfield, Essex; Dear Wyndham Lewis. We are back from Spain
and if I may I should like to call on you on Monday week and collect the
portrait.

87

Ayrton, Michael ALS to Wyndham LewisToppesfield, Essex; Dear Lewis. I have had a letter from "The
Shenandoah" asking me to write an essay on the subject of working with you on
The Human Age designs

87

Ayrton, Michael ALS to Wyndham LewisToppesfield, Essex; Dear Wyndham Lewis. I enclose a copy of
the piece I have written for the Shenandoah on my association with you. I sent
it with some trepidation

87

Ayrton, Michael ALS to Wyndham LewisToppesfield, Essex; Dear Wyndham Lewis. I wish to send you the
catalogue of my show and to apologise for having neglected to make contact with
you during the last few weeks.

87

Ayrton, Michael ALS to Wyndham LewisToppesfield, Essex; Dear Lewis. Thank you for your wire. The
show has gone - or is going - tolerably well despite the violet antagonism of
the I.C.A.

87

Ayrton, Michael ALS to Wyndham LewisToppesfield, Essex; Dear Lewis. I had meant to call on you
last week but have been confined to bed with a violet bronchitis and flu and
only just up.

87

Ayrton, Michael ALS to Wyndham LewisToppesfield, Essex; Dear Wyndham Lewis. I send you herewith a
design for the jacket of The Human Age which I hope you will find suitable.

87

Ayrton, Michael ALS to Wyndham LewisToppesfield, Essex; Dear Wyndham Lewis. I have just received
from Methuen's the proof of The Red Priest which I am reading with enthusiasm
and excitement.

87

Ayrton, Michael ALS to Wyndham LewisToppesfield, Essex; Dear Wyndham Lewis. Thank you so much for
your telegram. I'm glad you like my little piece in the 'Statesman', as
opportunity to write,

87

Ayrton, Michael ALS to Wyndham LewisToppesfield, Essex; Dear Wyndham Lewis. In great haste I write
to enclose a letter from Henry Kissinger, the editor of Confluence, which will
explain itself.

87

Ayrton, Michael ALS to Wyndham LewisToppesfield, Essex; Dear Lewis. Yes, I was sent a copy of
Robert's pamphlet which I assume he had printed at his own expense. He clearly
has no talent

87

Ayrton, Michael ALS to Wyndham LewisToppesfield, Essex; My Dear Lewis. White has just sent me your
introduction oto my book of essays and I write at once to thank you and to say
that I am very proud

87

Ayrton, Michael ALS to G. Anne (Hoskyns)
LewisToppesfield, Essex; Dear Mrs. Lewis. I will not burden you
with conventional messages of regret, but in more practical rein, ask if you
would care to come and stay awhile down here,

87

Ayrton, Michael ALS to G. Anne (Hoskyns)
LewisToppesfield, Essex; Dear Mrs. Lewis. The Zwemmer show is a
complet surprise to me too, nor have I yet seen it, but I suppose he owns the
works

87

Ayrton, Michael ALS to G. Anne (Hoskyns)
LewisToppesfield, Essex; Dear Mrs. Lewis. Thank you for your letter
and for returning the material but please keep the catalogue since I have other
copies

87

Ayrton, Michael ALS to G. Anne (Hoskyns)
LewisToppesfield, Essex; Dear Mrs. Lewis. We could call on you this
Thursday afternoon at about 4.30 pm if that would be convenient. We should both
very much like to see you.

87

Ayrton, Michael ALS to G. Anne (Hoskyns)
LewisToppesfield, Essex; Dear Mrs. Lewis. I have read the New
Statesman but have not as yet been able to lay hands on the relevent copies of
the T.L.S.

87

LewisToppesfield, Essex; Have also replied times your letter first
rate have sent it

87

Ayrton, Michael ALS to G. Anne (Hoskyns)

my wife. I have not as yet posted your letter to the T.L.S. as a result of a
conversation with Sir John R.

87

Ayrton, Michael ALS to G. Anne (Hoskyns)
LewisToppesfield, Essex; Dear Mrs. Lewis. Here is a proof of my
letter to the T.L.S. I hope you will approve. It will appear shortly, I am
assured.

87

Ayrton, Michael TL[fragment]S to G. Anne (Hoskyns)
LewisToppesfield, Essex; ... substantial part of theis collection
does not show him at the top of his form. We both know that. Nevertheless,
there are sufficient drawings of high quality

87

Ayrton, Michael ALS to G. Anne (Hoskyns)
LewisToppesfield, Essex; Dear Mrs. Lewis. Due to the editory of a
magazine called 'Spectrum' published in California which (as the 'Shenandoah'
its old name) has published a good deal

87

Ayrton, Michael ALS to G. Anne (Hoskyns)
LewisToppesfield, Essex; Dear Mrs. Lewis. I am sorry that you do
not see your way to accepting Russell's offer as it seemed to me that it would
be very difficult

87

Ayrton, Michael TLS to G. Anne (Hoskyns)
LewisToppesfield, Essex; Dear Mrs. Lewis. I am very sorry you
aren't well and hope you will soon be better. I have no doubt that this worry
has had something to do with it.

87

Ayrton, Michael TLS to G. Anne (Hoskyns)
LewisToppesfield, Essex; Dear Mrs. Lewis. I have just returned from
Scotland and received your second letter concerning Peter Russell's failure to
pursue the matter of his offer

87

Ayrton, Michael TL[fragment] to G. Anne (Hoskyns)
LewisToppesfield, Essex; Dear Mrs. Lewis. I do not know where the
concweption originated that I was trying to sell the drawings in the U.S.A. for
500 dollars.

87

Ayrton, Michael ALS to G. Anne (Hoskyns)
LewisToppesfield, Essex; Dear Mrs. Lewis. Peter Russell has just
written to apologise for his long silence and to say that he is now prepared to
go ahead and buy the drawings

87

Ayrton, Michael ALS to G. Anne (Hoskyns)
LewisToppesfield, Essex; Dear Mrs. Lewis. Pending any news of
Russell I have risked selling another drawing for you. It is a stong pencil
work head of a dark woman inscribed 'Boston. 1936'

87

Ayrton, Michael ALS to G. Anne (Hoskyns)
LewisToppesfield, Essex; Dear Mrs. Lewis. We will put the whole
matter in the hands of my solicitors and see what they say. If they think
Russell would go back

87

Ayrton, Michael TLS to G. Anne (Hoskyns)
LewisToppesfield, Essex; Dear Mrs. Lewis. Thank you for your letter
with enclosure for the Times Literary Supplement. I am extremely sympathetic
with all you say,

infectious now [probably around 1920?]

88

Barry, Iris ALS to Wyndham LewisLondon; Dear W.L. Many thanks for letter & enclosure, also
for telephoning. The 30\- you sen was for last week, was it not, Nov.5th to
12th: [probably about November, 1921?]

88

Barry, Iris TLS to Wyndham LewisLondon; Dear W.L. I'm dying of sixteen pulmonary compaints and
am going down to Mill Hill for the week-end - I think I have sold that story I
told you of.[probably about 1921?]

88

Barry, Iris ALS to Wyndham LewisLondon; Dear Lewis. Sadleir writes that "Mr. Withersquash" is
about to appear. When it does, please put in a good word for it where you can.
[[probably about 1923?]

88

Barry, Iris ALS to Wyndham LewisLondon; Dear W.L. I popped around on Monday night but the gate
was locked. Are you in London? If so give me a line, or phone, won't you?
[probably about 1922/23?]

88

Barry, Iris ALS to Wyndham LewisLondon; Dear W.L. I called on spec. to try & borrow a few
shillings as I only have 8 1/2 & haven't paid for Maisie. There have been
complications with Constable, [probably about 1922/23?]

88

Barry, Iris ALS to Wyndham LewisLondon; Dear W.L. I am going down to see Maisie next Sunday. I
suppose you don't want to come -do if you can. Try & fix an evening for a
meeting [probably about 1922/23?]

Barry, Iris ALS to Wyndham LewisLondon;I cannot believe that you are in the Land of the
living, and I have some horrible idea that you are also at Liverpool, or New
Haven or Stockholm. ["Wednesday" around Dec., 1920?]

88

Barry, Iris ALS to Wyndham LewisParis; It was sad not seeing you in Paris, you might have
spared me five quick minutes for one small drink - As to the studio let me know
how much you want to pay [probably about summer, 1921?]

88

Barry, Iris TLS to Wyndham LewisLondon; Dear W.L. Thank you for cheque received this morning -
I don't quite know how I'm going to cash it as it is crossed but will try.
[probably around late in 1921?]

88

Barry, Iris ALS to Wyndham LewisLondon; My dear Lewis. How are things? I'm getting a little
restive once more - not having heard from you. On the other hand, I was quite
willing to wait [probably around late in 1921?]

88

Barry, Iris ALS to Wyndham LewisLondon; I wish I owed you 50 [pounds] as I do Mr. Selfridge,
then perhaps you would write to me as often as he does. Marie is here; your
chum Mr. E. [pound sign] has written [probably around late in 1921?]

88

Barry, Iris TLS to Wyndham LewisLondon; Dearest Lewis. It was nice to hear from you - the
novel is being sent today, now that I know it will reach you. Perhaps you'll
ring me up [probably around March, 1930?]

88

Barry, Iris ALS to Wyndham LewisLondon; Dear Lewis. This about scrapes the bottom of the pot,
but here it is. Glad that things sound a scrap better. I have been in & out
of town, [probably abourt lat 1930's/early 1940's?]

88

Barry, Iris ALS to Wyndham LewisNew York; Dear Lewis. This is the best I can do as we are
quite bushed but maybe I will fill the gap for the moment. I'll let you know
the minute I have any news about the book, [probably about 1939?]

88

Barry, Iris ALS to Wyndham LewisNew York; My dear Lewis. Alas I have been in Washington almost
the entire past month & got your last letter only very recently. Your
letter makes me very unhappy

88

Barry, Iris TLS to Wyndham LewisNew York; My dear Lewis. I am afraid that I am rather a weak
reed though when I get back to town (I write this in the country where I have
your two letters [probably around 1940?]

88

Barry, Iris ALS to Wyndham Lewis[n.p.] This is the verge of one of those public holidays, I
have to rush to catch a train. [probably around 1940?]

88

Barry, Iris ALS to Wyndham Lewis[n.p.] Dear Lewis. I have been away & distractedly busy -
but here is a fragment of assistance. What do you hear from Washington, I
fancied something was about to be fixed up for you there? [probably around
1940?]

88

Barry, Iris ALS to Wyndham LewisNew York; Dear Lewis. We did buy the drawings, it seemed the
only thing to do after so much delay & dithering around: whether the Museum
does or doesn't want [probably about January 1941?]

88

Barry, Iris ALS to Wyndham LewisNew York; Dear Lewis. I spent this week in bed - fell out of
an automobile & got a slight concussion - so things are rather awkward
[probably about December 1941?]

88

Barry, Iris ALS to Wyndham LewisNew York; Dear Lewis. Your letter I only read quite late,
meanwhile I hear Alfred Barr had spoken to you & will by all means attempt
to get the purchase of one or two more drawings [probably around 1939?]

88

Barry, Iris TLS to Wyndham LewisNew York; Dear W.L. Do let me suggest, don't try to see the
Picasso show at the Museum either on Saturday or Sunday - the galleries are
crowded beyond belief, [probably around 1939?]

88

Barry, Iris ALS to Wyndham LewisLondon; Dear W.L. I think you must admit that I have been very
patient and tried not to worry you - although it is now some weeks since I had
any money from you [may be December, 1921?]

88

Barry, Iris ALS to Wyndham LewisLondon; Friday at 12 will mean Saturday after I have some - I
suppose - however if not, and if I am not off to country Friday till Doomsday
we might dine together [may be last part of a fragment?]

88

Barry, Iris TLS to Wyndham LewisLondon; My dear Lewis. It is now well on the third week during
which I have had no payment from you. It is useless my attempting to get you to
ask yourself

88

Barry, Iris envelope to Wyndham LewisLondon; [Addressed to Lewis, with London postmark]

88

Barry, Iris TLS to Wyndham LewisLondon; Dearest Lewis. Sorry to bother you, but I didn't ever
give you the agreement I made with the people up in Burnley who have Maisie,
did I?

Eliot, Thomas Stearns TLS to Jessica
DismorrLondon; Dear Jessie, I found your note on Wyndham Lewis
interesting, and I should like to publish someting in "The Criterion" about
Lewis,

Eliot, Thomas Stearns TLS to G. Anne (Hoskyns)
Lewis[London] Dear Froanna, I must apologise for having been so
long in answering your letter of the 9th, but I was reather under the weather -
that is to say, under the fog

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns TLS to G. Anne (Hoskyns)
Lewis[London] Dear Mrs. Lewis, Mr. Eliot has asked me to send you
the enclosed proof of an article which was published in "The Hudson Review"
[Signed Susan F. MacEwen]

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns TLS to G. Anne (Hoskyns)
Lewis[London] Dear Froanna, Unfortunately, April 9th is the day on
which we have had to ask some American cousins, briefly in London, to dine with
us.

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns TLS to G. Anne (Hoskyns)
Lewis[London] Dear Froanna, I am writing this hurried line tonight
- we leave early tomorrow morning - to tell you how very sorry I was - and how
very sorry Valerie was,

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns TLS to G. Anne (Hoskyns)
Lewis[London] Dear Froanna, I am sendingyou under separate cover,
by Registered Post, all the letters from Wyndham Lewis that can be traced.

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns TLS to G. Anne (Hoskyns)
Lewis[London] Dear Froanna, I was very glad to get your second
letter, together with the proof of ONE-WAY SONG, and to hear that White was
active.

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns TLS to G. Anne (Hoskyns)
Lewis[London] Dear Froanna, This is to confirm what I said in our
telephone conversation the day before yesterday. Alan White will give a fee of
[pounds] 30 for the Preface

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns TLS to G. Anne (Hoskyns)
Lewis[London] Dear Froanna, I hope that you have now received the
proof copy of the letters, which I gave out to be returned to you before I
received your letter of the 17th.

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns TLS to G. Anne (Hoskyns)
Lewis[London] Dear Froanna, Thank you for your letter of October
14th, with enclosures. I had already written to Alan White, objecting the the
first sentence

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns TLS to G. Anne (Hoskyns)
Lewis[London] Dear Froanna, I have your letter of the 28th with
enclosures. I will check your list of deletions to see with which I agree. I
gather from White

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns TLS to G. Anne (Hoskyns)
Lewis[London] Dear Froanna, The enclosed letter which I have not
see is from a man who said he wished to write to you about some matter on which
he is I believe writing himself

Eliot, Thomas Stearns TL[copy]S to J. Alan
White[London] Dear White, Excuse me for bombarding you with
correspondence. I have just realized that, from my point of view, time rather
presses

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns ALS & TL[copy] &
TL[copy] to Wyndham Lewis[London] Dear Lewis, My apology was for the one point which
seems to me to require an apology. For the rest it is a pity that we have not a
higher opinion of each others characters,

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns ALS & TL[copy] &
TL[copy] to Wyndham Lewis[London] Have been delayed, but expect to have something for
you in a few days. Would you object to something about Whitehead,

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns ALS to Wyndham Lewis[London] Dear Lewis, I saw Mary Sinclair & she is going
away again on the 8th. I took the liberty of mentioning your books. She said
Hutchinson was good

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns ALS & TL[copy] &
TL[copy] to Wyndham Lewis[London] Dear Lewis, I'm afraid, you were right. I look it up
and found Lawrence was just under 9000 words. I do understand your difficulty
[Copies have two other letters from Eliot: May 13, 1924 and Feb. 24, 1924.]

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns ALS to Wyndham Lewis[Paris?] I sent Fritz a card to say I would fetch him about
5-6. If he dines with me I will return here before dinner. Or better still,
come on to his flat

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns ALS & TL[copy] &
TL:[copy] to Wyndham Lewis[London] Dear Lewis, Very many thanks. If you will send MSS.
as soon as ready there will always be someone here, or they will be quite safe
[Copies contain two other letters from Eliot: [n.d.] in folder 23 and August 3,
1921]

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns ALS to Wyndham Lewis[London] Dear Wyndham Lewis, Being in bed with a cold too, I
think Wednesday is safer. I will meet you at Versangten[?] Palace Hotel at 8 as
you suggest.

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns ALS & TL[copy] &
TLS[copy] to Wyndham Lewis[London] Dear Lewis, I want to get at Lady Cunard at once if
she is in town. I have been having a row with the Navy here and I want to see
Admiral Sims -Copies have second Eliot letter of Oct. 18, 1920.

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns ALS to Wyndham Lewis[London] Dear Lewis, I'll come in certainly on Friday, as I
can't on Thursday. Vivian is supposed to be going to a dance with Rodker, &
she says she hopes

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns ALS to Wyndham Lewis[London] Dear W. L., I now find it will suit me better to come
to Redfern after lunch - around 3 I expect.

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns ALS & TL[copy] &
TL[copy] to Wyndham Lewis[London] Dear Lewis, I am supposed to be ill and have been at
home for 2 days having the time in finishing my book. I shall be back again on
Friday.

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns ALS & TL[copy] to Wyndham
Lewis[London] Dear Lewis, Will you please not mention to anybody
what I told you this afternoon about the possibility of my going away for two
or three months. [Copy has another Eliot letter of June 18, 1921.]

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns TLS to Wyndham Lewis[London] Dear Lewis, I shall be up in town on Friday. Will you
let me know whether you can meet me for lunch

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns ALS & TL[copy] &
TL[copy] to Wyndham Lewis[London] Dear Lewis, I have been trying to get hold of you but
have so far failed. Am trying to get into U.S. Navy [Copies also have another
letter from Eliot, Aug.11, 1918]

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns ALS to Wyndham LewisMarlow; Dear Lewis, I am going to see Schick in the morning,
and I am not going to the bank at all, as I want to get my physical

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns ALS & TL[copy] &
TL[copy] to Wyndham Lewis[London] Dear Lewis, Thanks for your address. I should have
communicated before but have been in almost hourly consultation [Copy has
another Eliot letter, December 8, 1922]

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns ALS to Wyndham Lewis[London] My dear Lewis, You may already have left for Hastings
but if not I trust it will do you good and that the strike will not prevent

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns ALS & ALS[facsimile] to
Wyndham Lewis[London] Dear Lewis, Thank you very much for the Tyro which
has just arrived; I am writing at once before reading it

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns ALS to Wyndham Lewis[London] Dear Lewis, I am very sorry to find that tomorrow
afternoon will be impossible - we are getting in -

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns AL[postcard]S to Wyndham
LewisLausanne; I wish you wd. send me the criticism you said you
would write, please. I shall be here till Christmas.

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns ALS & TL[copy] &
TL[copy] to Wyndham Lewis[London] Dear Lewis, I have been absolutely taken up the last
en days with the hell of moving etcs., and very tired and depressed.

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns ALS to Wyndham Lewis[London] Dear Lewis, I should like to see you on a matter of
business: Can you meet me on Sunday evening

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns ALS & TL[copy] &
TL[copy] to Wyndham Lewis[London] Dear Lewis, Send the essays along as soon as you can,
and give me a few days to read them carefully,

Eliot, Thomas Stearns ALS & AL[facsimile]S to
Wyndham Lewis[London] Dear Lewis, Many thanks. May I take it that we shall
have deinitely 1. Mr. Zagneus for Jan.no.

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns TLS to Wyndham Lewis[London] Dear Lewis, Thanks for your leltter. I expect to be
in my office up to one o'clock tomorrow, after that less certain.

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns TLS & TL[copy] &
TL[copy] to Wyndham Lewis[London] Dear Wyndham, I am sorry about the cheque. You should
have received it about four days ago but for distractions on my part.

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns TLS & TL[facsimile]S to
Wyndham Lewis[London] Dear Lewis, I have waited to answer your letter until
I had the time to deal with it as thoroughly as I could.

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns ALS & TL[copy] &
TL[copy] to Wyndham Lewis[London] Dear Lewis, I suppose you will be printing a brief
rejoinder to Bell? He has certainly not replied, [Copies contain another 2
Eliot letters, both undated.]

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns ALS & TL[copy] &
TL[copy] to Wyndham Lewis[London] Dear Lewis, I have now heard from Schiff and I
believe I am to see him on Saturday. I suppose you have already seen him.

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns ALS & TL[copy] &
TL[copy] to Wyndham Lewis[London] Dear Lewis, Many thanks for the fresh MSS. I will do
as you say. I hope it will do if I return you the part you want

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns TLS to Wyndham Lewis[London] Dear Lewis, I am sorry I did not answer the door this
afternoon but I was in bed and did not want to get up

Eliot, Thomas Stearns TLS & T:[facsimile]S to
Wyndham Lewis[London] Dear Lewis, I presume that you received your proof
direct this morning as I received one copy.

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns TLS to Wyndham Lewis[London] Dear Lewis, I have got back and want to see you soon.
I cannot manage this week but will you let me know what evening

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns AL[postcard]S to Wyndham
LewisLondon; Very many thanks for punctual MS. I shall expect the
others during the week. Excellent. If you can send me this week

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns ALS & TL[copy] to Wyndham
Lewis[London] Dear Lewis, I do not know in the least what you mean
by "sound economic factors at work on my side."

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns TLS to Wyndham LewisLondon; Dear Lewis, After two frantic letters from Schiff
requesting and entreating me to grant him an interview

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns TLS & TL[copy] &
TL[copy] to Wyndham Lewis[London] Dear Lewis, Thanks for your letter. I am glad to hear
that you will go and I shall see you there.

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns AL[postcard] to Wyndham
LewisLondon; I have been very harrassed & occupied. Could we
meet directly after Christmas - say Monday or Tuesday week?

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns TLS & TL[copy & TL[copy]
to Wyndham Lewis[London] Dear Lewis, I have been ill in bed with influenza and
bronchitis, hence the delay. Whibley says he does not expect to be in
London

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns TLS to Wyndham Lewis[London] Dear Lewis, I have your letter dated the 30th
January. You are certainly entitled to some explanation of the
advertisement

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns TLS & TL[copy] &
TL[copy] to Wyndham Lewis[London] Dear Lewis, As I am unable to attend to much
correspondence at present - indeed my last letter you was much the longest

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns AL[postcard]S to Wyndham
LewisLondon; I have received your registered letter. I am at
present quite unable to deal with correspondence but your letter shall be
answered

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns ALS & TL[copy] &
TL[copy] to Wyndham Lewis[London] Dear Lewis, Your essay reached me after - as I found
by telephoning to Aylesbury or the Apse Crierion had already been set

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns TLS to Wyndham LewisLondon; Dear Lewis, This is the first opportunity I have had
to reply to your letter. I shall be very glad to discuss the matter

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns TLS & TL[copy] &
TL[copy] to Wyndham LewisLondon; Dear Lewis, I have your letter of the 8th instant As I
know nothing whatever about the matter of Whibley

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns ALS & TL[copy] &
TL[copy] to Wyndham Lewis[London] Dear Lewis, I return you MS. as you request, but bear
in mind that it would have suited me perfectly for October,

Eliot, Thomas Stearns ALS to Wyndham Lewis[London] Dear Lewis, I simply don't understand you at all. If
you are dissatisfied please explain with figures.

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns ALS to Wyndham LewisLondon; Dear Lewis, I enclose a statement from Cobden
Sanderson of monies paid you. The extra [pounds] 3.14 -can very well go in as
an additional payment [With the mentioned statement.]

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns TLS to Wyndham LewisLondon; Dear Lewis, What I am doubtful of is whether it is
possible to get into "The Times" a letter obviously pointed against another
newspaper.

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns TLS to Wyndham LewisLondon; Dear Lewis, I have been back in London since Christmas
day but have been too busy to write and thank you for your letter which was
forwarded to me in France.

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns TLS to Wyndham LewisLondon; Dear Lewis, Thanks for your note and for the circular
of Chatto and Windus. The advertisement of your book is all right. Will you ask
them to send us a review copy

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns TLS & TL[copy] &
TL[copy] to Wyndham Lewis[London] Dear Lewis, I quite understand your inability to do
anything in the way of a regular art chronicle or even any occasional writing
about matters

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns ALS & TL[copy] &
TL[copy] to Wyndham LewisLondon; Dear Lewis, Here is MSS. What I have read I like
exceedingly. If you will return it by Wednesday night I shall have read it all
by Monday;

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns TLS to Wyndham LewisLondon; Dear Lewis, Your manuscript received and I am reading
it. Your book having just arrived from Chatto and Windus, I think it is
desireable

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns TLS & TL[copy] &
TL[copy] to Wyndham LewisLondon; Dear Lewis, I am glad to hear from you. "The Art of
Being Rules" is being reviewed at some length by a young man who seems to be
very keen about it

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns TLS to Wyndham LewisLondon; Dear Lewis, I have just returned from abroad. I have
not been able to get anything done while away, but am writing to say that if it
is not too late

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns TLS to Wyndham LewisLondon; Dear Lewis, I am highly pleased and flattered at
having the advance copy of your book with inscription, and intend to read it
during the Christmas holidays.

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns TLS to Wyndham LewisLondon; Dear Wyndham, I have just read "The Enemy" and beg to
give you my warmest compliments upon it. "The New Criterion" is about to be
transformed into a monthly

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns ALS to Wyndham LewisLondon; Dear Wyndham, I shall be glad to fix next Tuesday.
Call for me at 24 Russell Square, or write there if you prefer to choose
another place of meeting.

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns ALS to Wyndham Lewis[London] Dear Lewis, Referring to my last: my father-in-law
died this morning, and on Tuesday I shall have to go to Eastbourne for the
funeral.

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns TLS to Wyndham LewisLondon, Dear Lewis, I am sorry to hear that you are leaving so
soon and that tomorrow is impossible. Let me know as soon as you return.

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns TLS to Wyndham LewisLondon, Dear Wyndham, Very many tanks for your kind letter and
for the presentation copy of your book. I have just returned from Paris and
find an enormous amount of work

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns TLS to Wyndham LewisLondon, Dear Lewis,

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns ALS to Wyndham LewisLondon, My dear Lewis, Thanks for your note. I am sorry that
there seems to have been a misunderstanding. I certainly thought you meant that
Thorpe was your first choice

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns TLS to Wyndham LewisLondon, My dear Wyndham, I am glad if you are, in principle,
satisfied with Thorpe. I myself was not particularly glad of either Thorpe or
Birrell,

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns TLS to Wyndham LewisLondon, dear Wyndham: I have returned on Friday from abroad.
If you are in London, I should particularly like to see you. Dinner any evening
next week,

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns ALS to Wyndham LewisLondon, Dear Wyndham, I have returned to London. If you are in
town will you dine early next week? Shd. like to see you. I am free at present
any night

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns TLS to Wyndham LewisLondon, Dear Wyndham, It seems pretty certain that "The
Criterion" will continue in quarterly form. If you are in London could you
manage one day next week for lunch?

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns ALS to Wyndham LewisLondon, Dear Lewis, I was away when you & letter came. Is
there any evening next week? I am not free on Wednesday. Suggest two evenings
if you can, [With a second short note from Elliot.]

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns TLS to Wyndham LewisLondon, Dear Lewis, I am sorry to hear your news. I willl
mention you in my prayers. I am here until the 31st July, and again from the
10th August

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns TLS to Wyndham LewisLondon, Dear Lewis, I am glad to hear from you. I am just off
to-day for a fortnight's holiday, and expect to be back on the 24th. I should
like to arrange a meeting with you

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns TLS to Wyndham LewisLondon, Dear Lewis, I learn from the Telegraph that your
portrait of me has been rejected by the Academy. For my own part, I will not
disguise my feeling of relief.

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns TLS to Wyndham LewisLondon, Dear Lewis, I am sorry to say that the estimates turn
out to make the book of reproductions too expensive for us to takle, at the
present time

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns TLS to Wyndham LewisLondon, Dear Lewis, I got this address some time ago from on
John Reid, and have been meaning to write ever since. But in these times one
has to write more letters than ever,

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns TLS to Wyndham LewisLondon, Dear Lewis, I was waiting to hear from you. At the
present time I am not very well and prefer not to be out in the evening very
often.

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns TLS to Wyndham LewisLondon, Dear Lewis, You seem to have misprised my meaning. I
did not mean that I cannot go out at night, but that I cannot go out often;
twice a week

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns TLS to Wyndham LewisLondon, Dear Lewis, Thank you for yours of the 23rd. I am very
glad if the arrangements about your book have been settled to your
satisfaction.

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns TLS to Wyndham LewisLondon, Dear Wyndham, I have here a letter from Ezra referring
to yourself and I don't think that I can do better than pass it on to you. I
think he would like very much to hear from you

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns TLS to Wyndham LewisLondon, Dear Lewis, I should have answered your letter long
ago, but I have been paralysed by this weather, and have not done many things I
should have done.

Eliot, Thomas Stearns TLS to Wyndham LewisLondon, Dear Lewis, I should have thanked you for two letters
which reached me just before I left Princeton. I was very rushed at that
time

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns TLS to Wyndham LewisLondon, Dear Lewis, I have found your two letters after all; I
had forgotten that I brought one batch with me, which I had not yet had time to
look over.

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns TLS to Wyndham LewisLondon, My dear Lewis, I am sorry for my long silence, but I
have kept finding from week to week that I have been unable to escape as many
evening engagements

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns TLS to Wyndham LewisLondon, My dear Lewis, Good. In that case would you meet me at
Frascati's on Thursday the 24th at seven o'clock. I don't suppose it is
necessary to book a table

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns TLS to Wyndham LewisLondon, Dear Lewis, I am now back from Suffolk. There was no
mistake about the cheque: it seemed to me that I might do something a little
nearer the real market value

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns TLS to Wyndham LewisLondon, Dear Lewis, Thanks for your note. I write to assure
you that I was not influenced by any supposed suggestion in your letter but
solely by my own inclination

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns TLS to Wyndham LewisLondon, My dear Lewis, Thanks for your letter of the 2nd
September which contitutes a kind of testimonial which I wish to preserve for
posterity.

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns TLS to Wyndham LewisLondon, My dear Lewis, We have had no further communication
from Hendley-Read, so I am writing to let you know the result of our estimate
of the book.

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns TLS to Wyndham LewisLondon, Dear Wyndham Lewis, You mentioned the other day that
there was some question of your being invited to give a course in Philosophy at
some American University

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns TLS to Wyndham LewisLondon, My dear Lewis, We have just had a proposal from a
certain Charles Handley-Read who wants to do a book about you. This is not a
catalogue raisonnne

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns TLS to Wyndham LewisLondon, Dear Lewis, I have been at home for a week with a bad
attack of bronchitis; but I expect to be back at work on Monday. This morning
I.A. Richards,

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns TLS to Wyndham LewisLondon, My dear Lewis, I have your letter of July 1st. I see
your point about the other artist, but I don't think there is much likelihood
of my consenting to sit for anyone else.

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns TLS to Wyndham LewisLondon, My dear Lewis, The question of the portrait now
appears to be a fait accompli. Richards wrote a very enthusiastic letter to the
Master on the strength

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns TLS to Wyndham LewisLondon, Dear Lewis, I transmit herewith a copy of a letter I
have just received from the Master of Magdalene. I do not know what frames cost

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns ALS to Wyndham LewisSouthwold, Suffolk; Dear Lewis, Cheque herewith. I am here
till August 4th. I can't do much from here as I have not typewriter. Why don't
you write to the Master

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns TLS to Wyndham LewisHigh Wycombe, Bucks.; Dear Lewis, Will it suit you equally
well to come in Sunday night instead of Saturday night at the same hour, about
8.30.

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns TLS to Wyndham LewisLondon, My dear Wyndham, You are quite right - no one else has
yet remarked that Julia is a niece of Mrs. Porter, and that Reilly's mother was
a Sweeney

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns TLS to Wyndham LewisLondon, Dear Lewis, I brought up the proposal of your book as
outlined in your letter of September 12th, to my Board, when they met on
Thursday last

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns TLS to Wyndham LewisLondon, Dear Lewis, I got back ten days before Christmas, but
since then have had two short attacks of bronchitis, which has interfered with
my routine.

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns TLS to Wyndham LewisLondon, Dear Lewis, I have been back in London for over a
fortnight, but returned with a cold contracted in Madrid, which I am only just
shaking off.

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns TLS to Wyndham LewisLondon, Dear Lewis, I was glad to get your letter of the 4th.
Wednesday the 13th does not appear to be very good, as I have got a Committee
all afternoon,

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns TLS to Wyndham LewisLondon, Dear Wyndham, I found this morning, with great
pleasure, your book on my desk, inscribed. I have so far only read the preface;
but I see

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns TLS to Wyndham LewisLondon, Dear Wyndham, Let us go to the Hyde Park Hotel then
and dine about 7.30. If your wife is not able to come, shall I stop in and pick
you up

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns TLS to Wyndham LewisLondon, Dear Lewis, Thank you for your note of the 31st. It
had been on my mind for some time to get in touch with you and propose dinner
either at your flat

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns TLS to Wyndham LewisLondon, Dear Lewis, The enclosed (which I have had for some
time) is pretty grim, but fairly exact. I have asked that American lawyer,
Rufus King,

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns TLS to Wyndham LewisLondon, Dear Lewis, I am sorry to have been so long in
answeringyour letter of November 23rd about Pound. The first question about any
public agitation

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns TLS to Wyndham LewisLondon, Dear Lewis, Thank you for your letter of the 19th. As
you say, I can't start on anything now, even if I knew exactly what to start
on:

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns TLS to Wyndham LewisLondon, Dear Lewis, As you may or may not have heard, I came
down with this heart trouble very soon after getting back from South
Africa;

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns TLS to Wyndham LewisLondon, My dear Lewis, I've been through MONSTRE GAI twice,
but I can't yet give more than an interim report. I believe, with the
assistance of the two passages

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns TLS to Wyndham LewisLondon, Dear Lewis, On another reading: I get the impression
that you want to distinguish between Death on Earth - the process by which
people get from Earth

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns TLS to Wyndham LewisLondon, Dear Lewis, Thank you for your letter of the 11th. I
don't seem to have kept any copy of my note of the 9th, but I don't know that
it matters.

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns TLS to Wyndham LewisLondon, Dear Lewis, Here is a draft of my note. If you will
let me have your comments and criticisms, I will have it typed out properly,
and will send one copy to you,

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns TLS to Wyndham LewisLondon, Dear Lewis, I'm sorry that I shan't be able to dine on
Thursday after all, as my doctor wants me to get to the seaside for as much
time as possible

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns TLS to Wyndham LewisLondon, Dear Lewis, Thank you for your letter of the 19th. I
had heard rumours to the effect that you were engaged on a novel and am very
glad to have them confirmed.

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns TLS to Wyndham LewisLondon, Dear Lewis, Thanks for your note of the 22nd. I'll
turn up at Kensington Gardens Studios at 7 o'clock on November 3rd. I have not
been ill.

Eliot, Thomas Stearns TLS to Peter RussellLondon; Dear Mr. Russell, I must reply very briefly to your
two letters. I should feel it an obligation to agree to the request to take the
chair for you

102

Eliot, Thomas Stearns TLS to Henry SwabeyLondon; My dear Swabey, I am sorry that I have been very busy
indeed, with the additional reasons of having been away so long in Germany,

103

Evans, Luther H. TLS to Wyndham LewisWashington; Dear Mr. Lewis: On behalf of the Librarian I am
acknowledging your letter of November 7. I shall pass the word along to Mr.
Douglass [Chief Assistant Library, Library of Congress]

103

Evans, Merlyn ALS to Wyndham LewisLondon; Dear Wyndham Lewis, Just a note to say how much I
enjoyed my visit on Saturday and to mention that Winsor and Newton.- I am told
- have a fairly large stock of permanent oil colours

103

Evans, Merlyn ALS to Wyndham LewisLondon; Dear Wyndham Lewis, I would very much enjoy a talk
with you again on Saturday if you are at home. Kind regards to you and Mrs.
Lewis.

103

Evans, Merlyn ALS to Wyndham LewisLondon; Dear Wyndham Lewis, Thank you very much for the note.
I will bring some things along as you suggest on Saturday about 5 or so if that
is suitable.

103

Evans, Merlyn ALS to Wyndham LewisDurban; My Dear Mr. Wyndham Lewis, Dr. May knows that I have a
very great admiration for your work as a painter and writer, has asked me to
write to you

103

Evans, Merlyn ALS to Wyndham LewisLondon; Dear Wyndham Lewis, If you are at home and it is
convenient, I would very much like to call on you again about tea time on
Saturday

103

Evans, Merlyn ALS to Wyndham LewisLondon; Dear Mr. Wyndham Lewis, Here is a copy of the letter
to New Statesman - also a [?] from Picture Post that might be handy.

103

Evans, Merlyn ALS to Wyndham LewisLondon; Dear Mr.Wyndham Lewis, First let me thank you &
Mrs. Lewis for a delightful evening last Tuesday. I am looking forward to
seeing you both

103

Evans, Merlyn ALS to Wyndham LewisLondon; Sir, Your Art Critic's enthusiasm and outright
acceptance of the unique position of Mr. Wyndham Lewis' genius in English art
gave me a great satisfaction.

103

Evans, Merlyn ALS to Wyndham LewisLondon; Dear Mr. Wyndham Lewis, I enclose two quotations for
the cost of printing a small magazine. Kind regards to you and Mrs. Lewis,

103

Evans, Merlyn ALS to Wyndham LewisLondon; Dear Wyndham Lewis, I very much enjoyed hearing your

schizophrenic now. The important point to remember is that the poetry should be
published,

104

Firminger, Marjorie ALS to Francis Napier
Beaufort-PalmerLondon; Dearest Francis, Yes of course Victor. I'm wondering
if the fact that neither of us has heard from him since Christmas links up in
any way with what Katie told me

Katie sent me was an actual letter to her from Mr. Lewis. She, Mrs. L, wrote of

& Francis for letting me give him as a reference - no more news of the

104

Firminger, Marjorie AL[postcard]S to Francis Napier
Beaufort-PalmerLondon; It was no discourtesy to send back the letter with no
covering note, as it was sent to me in the same way. Perhaps because Katie has
an idea
